The government has released a 'green paper' which highlights issues with the current DWP benefits system
A significant revamp of the Department for Work and Pensions' Personal Independence Payments is on the cards, as the government claims the current system is putting a strain on public finances.
The document points out a substantial increase in the number of people claiming benefits due to mental health reasons. It reveals that PIP expenditure is projected to rise by 63 per cent to £35 billion over the next five years, partly because nearly a quarter of the population will be "reporting a disability" by 2024.
"Given there are other models of support used internationally, and the changes in disability benefit caseloads over time, we think it is right to ask about other models of support and the impact of these approaches, including stopping regular cash payments, if they were to be adopted here.
